I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Thomas Jefferson Foundation in July 2025
Interview
The interview went really well. It was a phone interview, which made things feel a lot more relaxed and simple. The questions were straightforward, and the whole process felt easy and stress-free. There really wasn’t much to it, but I felt confident and comfortable the entire time. Overall, it was a positive and smooth experience.

I applied online. I interviewed at Thomas Jefferson Foundation (Charlottesville, VA)
Interview
Interview is mostly behavioral, with a set list of questions asked by a panel of managers and mentor guides. Candidates are asked to prepare a short speech on any topic of their choosing. Biggest piece of advice: stick to the time limit given. A big part of the guide's job is getting information across within a strict time limit, so you need to demonstrate that.
